Unexpectedly, she would encounter such an artifact at this auction.
She was determined to win this bid, and have Lucas Walker present it to her mother who would undoubtedly be thrilled.
"The starting bid for this record is ten thousand USD. The minimum bid increment is one thousand. Ladies and gentlemen, you may place your bids now."
No one placed an offer. Clearly, the guests attending the auction didn't seem too interested in this record.
Ivana Bennett was initially worried about competing bids, making it difficult to get her hands on the item.
But now, hearing that no one had bid, she smiled inwardly.
"Eleven thousand dollars!"
She raised the registration plate Lucas Walker had handed her, announcing her bid.
As soon as her voice rang out, a man's voice also echoed in response.
"Eleven thousand dollars!"
The timing was such that their voices almost overlapped. If the other party had spoken just a bit earlier, you could say they spoke in unison.
